If your organization offers training courses provided by Skillsoft, catalog administrators need to import the learning content located on Skillsoft's servers into the LMS. Generally Skillsoft clients subscribe to thousands of courses, so it is not practical to import course data manually. Instead, Skillsoft uses a service framework called Open Learning Services Architecture (OLSA) to share the catalog and course information on their servers with the LMS. This integration of the LMS with Skillsoft, based on OLSA, is called Web Catalogs in the LMS.
You create and configure Web Catalogs to provide Skillsoft's catalogs and courses to LMS users. The Web Catalogs are synchronized with Skillsoft to ensure they're up-to-date. You can also choose whether to include Skillsoft content in Catalog Search results.
Like regular LMS catalogs, Web Catalogs have access permissions to specify who can view them and edit them.
Web Catalogs are available in the Learning and eLearning licenses only.
To import learning content into web catalogs, your user role must have unrestricted access to the Content Package, AICC Course Structure, Resource, Web Catalogs and PENS Import feature in System Roles (Manage Features > Catalog Manager Features).
